While using different draft values, it would result in variable plastic thickness, and that can cause problems right

[@alexispaniagua9698]

Thats make lots of sense... 🤔

[@jeffmiller6366]

Variable draft angles are common. A .5 degree is generally used across all vertical surfaces, while specific areas may require more draft depending on things like surface textures, depth of the vertical surface, etc.

@@jeffmiller6366 Thank you so much for the clarification, you´re right!

Hi sir, Im using NX 2312 but I dont have the command to reommend the draft angle base upon the geometrical condition.
For what is this? Do I need to enable something?

[@jeffmiller6366]

These capabilities are part of the NX Molded Part Design add-on. You would need to either have license for that particular module or if you are using Value Based Licensing then it would be enabled through your token pool.
